Me just wonder will draw electricity or not.. my bricks are normally at least 5~7 sockets on each... :sweat:
oh i dunno liao.. better not give my say anything. my lowly basic technical education is being tested and challenged by a stalker lately. I also waiting for expert to come in to give advice. anyone?
Most appliances, even if you think they are off, they are actually still drawing power (what they term 'leaking' power). I remember reading some studies done in the US and Europe where this leaking power by not unplugging appliances adds up to between 5 to 25 % of household electricity bills (depends on the types and how many appliances the house has). So the recommandation was either to unplug the devices when not in use or to use those power strips/boards and turn off the power strip/board switch (so you don't have to unplug individual appliances)
Wah.. you so hot ah, got stalker, I also want to stalk u leh!
#1are you guys talking about this?
or this
Wah lao... then you reply until so songst... :kok:
Wah... then I will be very bo eng liao... I got a lot of power bricks at home... *sweat*
Me too...the longest I left on was my speaker's adaptor, for a good year or two... but so far my speakers still working (since 1996).i always off my adapters when not in use because it is hot. heat is never good for electronics.
No, you won't need to power them off. The power drawn by power strips' neon indicators is not significant enough.
However, if you're using one of those el'cheapo Taiwan/ China made "surge protector" strips, you might want to do so. I've had one blow up and smoke in front of me before.
My advice is to spend a little more and get a Belkin Surge Protection strip. At the very least, it does come with warranty for your equipment plugged into it.
